00:00Simborong UMNO has proposed that its suspended former division chief Hishamuddin Hussein be
00:07readmitted to the party leadership. It suggested this at a meeting today, officiated by Johor
00:14UMNO chairman An-Hafiz Ghazi, who said he will bring the matter up to the party leadership.
00:21Describing Simborong as the place where he learned to navigate political challenges,
00:25An-Hafiz credited Hishamuddin with playing a key role in his own political development.
00:31He added that the proposal reflected the grassroots continued respect and appreciation
00:37for Hishamuddin's leadership. Hishamuddin, the current Simborong MP and a former UMNO vice president,
00:44was suspended from the party in January 2023 for two terms due to disciplinary breaches. Last year,
00:52UMNO president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the party is open to welcoming back sacked or suspended members
00:59if they prove their commitment to the party.
